INFN

Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (National Institute of Nuclear Physics) is constituted of a group of research centers, which, together with the universities, do scientific research in the physics of the atom and the subatomic particles.

Dott. Ing. Gianluca Massaccesi has collaborated with the Institutes of Bologna, Pisa, Lecce, Ferrara and Napoli, offering hardware and software assistance with regard to SDRC's CAD-CAE-CAM, together with training on software for superficial and solid modeling and FEM.

The Studio has also been involved in the AMS project, offering the service of dynamic and structural simulation. The project was carried out by an international collaboration of universities, research institutes and companies, on behalf of NASA. The objective was the realization of a system for the measurement of the antimatter. In June 1998 the equipment developed was launched in the terrestrial orbit with success thanks to one of the flights of the Space Shuttle. The AMS is the largest spectrometer of mass ever launched in orbit.

A procedure for the parametric 3D modelling for the light guides of the optoelectronic sensors has been developed for INFN.
